From the wrecks of a small vessel, the pages of a small journal,
left behind by a pirate penguin, were found. In them we could
uncover some more information about the bear-war was.

Page I.

"I don't know how many days have passed, but the loneliness was
taking the better of me. I'm glad that I've found some writing
material. This crab claw makes a great pen and keeping that
octopus as a personal ink factory was a great idea. Can't
remember where the paper came from. My name is Lady Mary Lambert.
I was the captain of the "Le Sardine" pirate ship. After a severe
storm all of my crew members were killed and my ship was lost.
But not during the storm, no. We survived the storm, it was only
after that everything was lost. A loose sail set us up in
collision course with a group of sea turtles. Those dammed
turtles had winter shells on, what followed was a disaster. A
gigantic hull breach was our doom. I will never forget those
penguins. They were my family."

Page II.

"Been a while since i wrote in here. Today was a good day, found
some materials to fix the little boat. This place is crazy, there
is some kind of war going on here. There's these little lunatic
pink bears trying to kill the viking pandas or something like
that. I try not to get involved and keep my presence unnoticed.
In the other hand, for me to escape, I might need the help of
those pandas. I don't think the pink fellows will be any help at
all. At the beach I saw a turtle with back pain, I bet it was the
one that sank my ship. But I must keep calm because concentration
is key for survival. Not that I'm all that bad, besides this war
and my dead friends. I eat fresh caviar, bananas and the waves
are great for surfing. Tomorrow I can finally start the repairs."

Page III.

"Today was the day I established contact with the pandas. Managed
to get to one of their camps and talk to them. They are very
nice. I learned the war begun because the pink tribe
misunderstood a letter or something. The repairs are going well.
I still need some kind of glue and I don't know where to get it.
The pandas gave me a map so i could make a safe travel to one of
their fortified villages. Reading this i could only understand -
"Turn left go go go" - No wonder the bears got things wrong.
Anyway, I think i know where to go. Guess tomorrow will be a big
day."

Page IV.

"Finally got the glue. I'm so happy, the boat is ready and just
needs to settle for a day, then I'm ready to go. This was a crazy
experience. Entering the village i could see how the war was
taking the toll on this kind people. To make things worse, there
was some kind of plague striking the bamboo fields. And everyone
knows that a panda loves bamboo. The panda who gave me the glue
was an inventor. When I asked what kind of glue it was he said -
"It's a new kind of glue, i call it Super Glue" - I can only hope
for it to be really super."

Page V.

"Ah the great feeling of sailing. The boat seems to be alright.
Now I must head north and get a new crew and ship. Guess this is
the beginning of my new Captain Journal. For now I'll just lay
down for a little bit."

The vessel these pages were found was wrecked on the shores of
the same Island. One can only guess what was the fate of this
penguin.
